Here is mine, it is a bit more complex than others are doing and a little more complicated to make, but it makes good use of the small amount of air space provided.

Do those subs share space or do they use the other pieces of the box as their air space?

Thanks

i made my box outta 3/4" mdf and then fiberglassed the bottom tubs, layed garbage bags in the tubs, and layed them in fiberlglass, then removed the box from the truck, removed the garbage bags and did another 2 layes of glass over the back parts. Here are pics of what it looks like.

That looks pretty nice. How does it feel when you are sitting on the seat? Loks like you would feel every thump! BTW, where'd you get those sweet floor mats???

you can line the space with duct tape instead. more reliable than foil.
